Light therapy for widespread chronic pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using a whole-body light treatment (photobiomodulation) can reduce widespread chronic pain. It may help if you have long-lasting, widespread pain and can safely use the device for about 6 weeks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older and can sign a consent form
- You have a diagnosis of widespread chronic pain or fibromyalgia, or you’re already being treated for widespread pain
- You can attend and keep up with the treatment schedule for 6 weeks
- You can use the device and lie flat for 20 minutes without being unable to (for example, not due to severe claustrophobia or physical limitations)
- You are not pregnant
- You do not have severe skin problems (like severe eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis, or skin cancer)

This trial tests whether a non-invasive light therapy called photobiomodulation can reduce chronic pain and fatigue in people with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS), a genetic condition affecting connective tissue. The light is applied to the skin and may help cells produce energy and reduce inflammation.
This trial tests if a special light treatment (photobiomodulation) can reduce inflammation and chronic pain in people with knee osteoarthritis. It may be an option if you have had knee pain for at least 3 months and are 50 or older.
This study tests if a special light treatment (photobiomodulation) can temporarily ease chronic low back pain that comes and goes. It's for people who have had this pain for at least 3 months and speak Portuguese.
This study tests a non-drug therapy called biophoton therapy to see if it can reduce chronic severe arthritis pain. It may be an option if you've had pain for at least 3 months and are not using certain medical implants.
This study looks at whether “green light therapy” can reduce chronic pain in people with fibromyalgia who haven’t gotten enough relief from usual treatments. It also uses brain imaging to better understand how the therapy works.
This study tests a special light therapy applied to the whole body to see how light bounces off different skin areas. It may help future treatments that use light for healing or pain relief.
